"[An] engrossing, damning tale of widespread unchecked corruption in
one of the nation's largest police departments, one that deserves
attention . . . Exhaustively researched . . . The most thorough
examination of these much-publicized events." --Boston Globe
In September 1996, Tupac Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting in
Las Vegas. In March 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. was similarly shot after
an awards show in Los Angeles. Neither crime has ever been solved. Also
in 1997, highly decorated LAPD detective Russell Poole uncovered
evidence that certain officers in the department were moonlighting for
Death Row Records--and, when he was placed on the task force assigned to
the Notorious B.I.G.'s murder, evidence that these same men were linked
to the murders. The first book to bring this story out of the shadows,
LAbyrinth received critical acclaim, ignited a firestorm of
controversy, and prompted two lawsuits against the LAPD. Now the basis
for the major motion picture City of Lies and updated with new
material from the author, LAbyrinth is a compelling tale of a grave
miscarriage of justice.
"Sullivan does a masterly job of juggling the dense thicket of facts . .
. But he's also busy revving the engine, encouraging Poole to connect
any dots left untouched." --Salon.com
"LAbyrinth is a jeremiad, leveling everything in its path." --Los
Angeles Magazine
"Compelling . . . No single source presents so complete or damning a
record as LAbyrinth." --Entertainment Weekly
